HENRY L. AUSTWICK, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

TOBACCO-PIPE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 705,193, dated July 22,1902. Application filed January 27,1902. b'erial No. 91,396. (No model.)

To (1. whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY L. AUSTWIOK, a citizen of the United States,residing at Ohicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Tobacco-Pipes; and I dohereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact descriptionof the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to whichit appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to tobacco-pipes; and it consists of certain novelfeatures of combination and construction of parts, the preferred formwhereof will be hereinafter fully described, and illustrated in theaccompany-' ing drawings, which are application.

The object of my invention is to insure that a cool, pleasant, andhygienic smoke will be produced and that the smoke drawn into the mouthwill be entirely freed from nicotin and other injurious elements.

Other objects and advantages will be hereinafter made fully apparent.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side elevation of myimproved pipe complete. Fig. 2 is a central longitudinal sectionthereof. Fig. 3 is a sectional view as seen from the dotted line or minFig. 2.

For convenience in referring to the various elements of my invention andcooperating accessories numerals will be employed, of which 1 representsthe bowl of my pipe, which may be of any preferred character and formedof any desired material, while 2 represents the pipe-stem, and 3 themouthpiece common to all pipes. On the under side of the stem 2 at aconvenient point between the bowl 1 and mouthpiece 3 I have provided anorifice at, the

made a part of this said orifice being of sufficient depth to inter sectthe bore of the stem, thus dividing the bore into sections 5 and 0,respectively.

The lower portion of the orifice 4 is screwthreaded and is adapted toreceive the threaded portion of the head 7, the said head being designedto carry a water-receptacle 8.

The head 7 is provided with a perfectly smooth surface above thethreaded portion just described and fits snugly into the smooth portionof the orifice 4, thus forming a substantially water-tight joint. Thehead 7 is also provided upon its lower side with tubes 9 and 10,formed'integrally therewith or otherwise attached thereto, the formerbeing of greater length than the latter.

The bulb-like receptacle 8, carried by the head 7, is formed of anymaterial deemed more suitable for the purpose, preferably of hardrubber, though glass may be employed,

.if'desired.

It is obvious that the receptacle 8 is designed to contain a properquantity of water to wholly im merse the lower half (more or less) ofthe tube 9, and it is therefore obvious that .the smoke must passdownward through the water and thence upward into the pipe-section 10and thence to the mouth through the stem-section 2 and mouthpiece 3.

The bores 11 and 12 in the tubes 9 and 10 extend up through the head 7and terminate at diametrically opposite points thereon and at such aheight as to register with the bores 5 and 6 of the stem 2 when the head7 has been properly inserted into the orifice 4. When it is desired todisconnect the line of travel for the smoke, all that is necessary is toparticularly rotate the bulb-like body 8, thus bringing the bores 11 and12 out of registration with thebores 5 and 6 of the pipestem. It willalso be seen that by having the head 7 snugly seated within the orifice4: the water is prevented from escaping through the boresll and 12 whenthe pipe is laid upon a table and temporarily not in use, the boreshaving first been turned out of registration with each other.

The various parts of my invention may be very cheaply and expeditiouslymanufactured and readily assembled in their respective 0p erativepositions, thus enabling the pipe to be manufactured at a minimum cost.It is also obvious that the several parts of my invention, being veryquickly separated from each other, may be easily cleansed from time totime as required and that since the smoke must pass downward through thewater it will be freed from deleterious substances and rendered morewholesome and safer for the smoker.

While I have described the preferred combination and construction of thevarious parts deemed necessary in materializing myinvention, I wish tocomprehend all substantial equivalents and substitutes that may fairlyfall Within the scope of my invention.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A pipe having a stem provided upon its under side with a holeextending into the stem past the bore thereof, in combination with awater-holding reservoir 8 having a head rigidly secured to its upperend, said head being provided with bores and with pipe-sections 9 and10, said bores being designed to be brought by the rotation of said headinto or. out of registration with the bore of thepipe-stem, allsubstantially as specified r 5 voir having a valve upon one end adaptedto 20 v fit said seat and rotate therein as set forth.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

HENRY L. AUSTWICK.
